Auto Uploading and Installing Packages in AEM

Hi,

Is FTP the only protocol you can use? Is the standard CQ replication (HTTP, you can also use HTTPS, proxy-support available) not ok? I would not try to reinvent this mechanism.

Hi,

I do see that you can use PackageManager Http Service API -
http://localhost:7402/crx/packmgr/service/<response-format>/<package-jcr-path>?cmd=<command>

If my package is at a location "C:\ContentRepository\MYCo-ContentPackage.zip", How am I going to pass this path in the API?

You would use the upload command. If you look at the documentation, you pass in the package file in the package form parameter.

Is this possible withoput using CURL, Since, we do not support CURL in our organization.

Some sample http example would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Aditya Nayak

curl is just an HTTP client. You can use whatever HTTP client you want.

Hi Justin,

I am using C#.NET to acheive this (not CURL). Following is my code snippet. I am getting "package file parameter missing" message.

        private static void UploadAEMPublishPackage()                 {                     string url = "http://localhost:4503/crx/packmgr/service/.json/?cmd=upload";                     WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url);                     request.Method = "POST";                     request.ContentType = "multipart/form-data";                                         request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("admin", "admin");                                         FileStream fs = null;                     fs = File.OpenRead(@"D:\AdobeAEM\packages\MySiteTaxonomy-1.0.0.zip");                     byte[] buffer = new byte[fs.Length];                     fs.Read(buffer, 0, Convert.ToInt32(fs.Length));                                         Stream reqstr = request.GetRequestStream();                     reqstr.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);                     reqstr.Close();                                         WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();                     StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());                     string str = reader.ReadLine();                     while (str != null)                     {                         Console.WriteLine(str);                         str = reader.ReadLine();                     }                 }

Upload service takes 2 parameters one is command (cmd=upload) & other is package (package=file). In your code just uploading file does not help & you need to pass with right mapping(package) parameters.  You might find [1] discussion helpful,

Hi,

I was able to access the publisher and upload the zip.

I am doing a form post to my publisher instance -
http://localhost:4503/crx/packmgr/service/.json/?cmd=upload
But get following message - 
This node already exists: /etc/packages

I am not using CuRL, but using C#.NET classes like HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse.

Any help for me troubleshoot this further is greatly appreciated?

Thanks,
Aditya

Justin - do you have an updated URL for your pointer? dev.day.com does not exist. Isn't it documented on adobe.com?
